Andy,
I built one of the tear drops on a pop up camper very similar to what you have done. What did you use to seal your camper with? Did you use marine grade sealer? After the first year I started seeing staing on the exterior or mine. I had used a marine grade sealer applied in multiple multiple coats. I am curious if the material had to high of a moisture content in it when I sealed it.
Also, how do you prevent the swelling in the entry door? It can be a bear to open when it’s really humid!
Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Again, great job on the build! I like the name too.

I am supposed to pick up an old pop up this evening for this very purpose. Should I have the trailer axle moved back once I tear it down? I’ve heard the galley weight requires the axle being further back. Thanks.
Jon, I believe the axle is put back so it can stand unhitched with just a leg at the hitch instead of have 4 , one in each corner most live in trailers use.
